Benefits of technology

The zinc oxide coated particles enhance the modulus, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and transparency of rubber products, while reducing heat build-up and Mooney viscosity, thus offering improved performance and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional zinc oxide use.

Problems solved by technology

Although the silanes and clays will greatly increase the modulus and reduce heat build up of the rubber compound so that rolling resistance of tires is decreased and fuel savings are realized, one problem with silane is that the abrasion resistance of the rubber composition is often reduced.

Preparation of Zinc Ammonia Carbonate Complex Solution

[0054]Add 1,400 grams of French process zinc oxide into 10.5 kg of ammonium carbonate solution with 10.74% ammonia and 6.18% carbon dioxide. Agitate until all zinc oxide is dissolved. Add 40 grams of zinc dust with heavy agitation for 30 minutes then filter the resulting slurry. The filtrate is 11.1 kg of zinc ammonia carbonate complex solution with 9.78% Zinc, 9.48% ammonia, and 5.45% carbon dioxide. This is called solution A. The solution contains less than 1 ppm of heavy metal as lead and less than 2 ppm of iron.

Coating of Clay

[0055]For rubber or rubber latex products like tires, shoe soles, rubber bands, latex gloves, etc., the amount of zinc oxide activator added is usually about 1 to 5 phr. Fillers like carbon black, calcium carbonates, china clay, silica, talc, etc., are used to reduce cost and / or to modify properties. The total amount of the fillers is usually much higher than the amount of zinc oxide. It is around 5 to 10 phr for latex elastic thread and up to 80 phr for tires. Thus, the rubber composition may further include one or more optional additives, such as carbon black, calcium carbonate, a clay, silica, talc, an antioxidant, a retarder, a lubricant (e.g., a paraffin wax), an activator, sulfur, an accelerator, a processing oil (e.g., an aromatic oil), and a processing aid (e.g., a coumarone resin or styrene resin). If the zinc oxide coated clay is to be used as both an activator and a filler, the coating should be relatively thin so that not too much zinc oxide is added to th...

Abstract

Zinc oxide and / or zinc carbonate coated particles, methods of coating particles with zinc oxide and / or zinc carbonate, and various applications of such coated particles, including applications in cosmetics, rubber, and other polymer materials, are disclosed. As compared to rubber formulations with zinc oxide and core materials added separately, formulations including the present coated particles may have a higher transparency, lower Mooney viscosity and lower minimum torque, improved dispersability, a higher modulus at 100% and / or at 300% elongation, a higher tensile strength, better aging resistance, better abrasion resistance, lower density, and / or lower heat build up. Thus, products containing the present coated particles may enjoy similar or better properties than comparative products that include a conventional filler and / or zinc oxide per se, and the present coated particles may result in cost savings for the corresponding product formulations.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 722,501 filed Sep. 29, 2005, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to the field of zinc oxide coated particles, methods of coating particles with zinc oxide, and various applications of such zinc oxide coated particles, including applications in cosmetics, rubber, other polymer materials, and the like in which the coated particles function, e.g., as one or more of a rheology modifying agent, a filler, a UV blocking agent, a filler for rubber or plastics (especially in tires), and / or a rubber activator.DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND[0003]Zinc oxide is widely used in rubber, UV resistant plastics, cosmetic formulations (including lotions, ointments, creams, antiseptics, etc.), paint, sensors, LED's, transistors and other microelectronic devices, medical devices, etc. Zinc oxide is used in these applications fo...
